Hey everyone,
Kjeld here — most of you know me as **MrPuffin**, or back in the day, **Ornias**.
Over the past year, weve been quietly but steadily working on something big at TrueCharts. Behind the scenes, weve focused hard on professionalizing and restructuring the project to make it more sustainable, more scalable, and frankly, more awesome.
Our core energy has been steadily shifting toward **building out and refining our Common Chart**, improving our **CI/CD pipelines**, and developing tooling like **clustertool** — all with the goal of supporting better automation and long-term maintainability. Its been a gradual but deliberate transition in focus, setting the stage for a more sustainable future for the project.
In the meantime, the **charts catalog** itself has organically evolved. Its now primarily driven by **community contributions**, which is incredible to see. People like **Alfi** and **jagrbombs** from our core team are doing fantastic work reviewing and maintaining the quality of incoming PRs. And lets not forget **Stavros**, whos been laser-focused on the Common Chart and pushing forward with unit tests and technical improvements.
But with all this growth comes a shift.
As life changes on my end too, Ive come to realize I simply cant do it all — not if we want to keep doing things right. So its time for a new phase.
Youll notice on the [team page](https://truecharts.org/team) that Im officially stepping back from day-to-day involvement with the general chart catalog. That means fewer interactions from me on community chart PRs and general contributions.
Instead, Ill be focusing 100% of my energy on what matters most for the long-term success of the project:
- Developing new features for the **Common Chart**
- Maintaining and improving our **CI/CD and deployment/testing pipelines**
- Coordinating and supporting our amazing **volunteer staff**
In practice, that means the chart catalog will be almost entirely community-driven — and thats by design. Weve built the structure for it, and now its time to let it grow.
So, yes, youll probably see **less of me in Discord** and around the edges of the project. But rest assured, Im still here, still fully committed, just with a more focused role behind the scenes (and on GitHub, of course).
Thanks to everyone whos helped us get here. This isnt the end of anything — its just the next logical step forward.
**Onwards and upwards,**
**Kjeld (MrPuffin)**
